Creating and Viewing Attachments

This section provides an overview of new attachment functionality in Contributor Relations and discusses how to create and view attachments throughout the system.

File attachments provide the ability to upload, modify, view and delete files in several areas of the product. The following table provides a high-level overview of where file attachments can be used in Contributor Relations:

Area

Functionality

Persons and Organizations

A number of components can manage an overall set of file attachments for both people and organizations. Each attachment uploaded is assigned an attachment type. This type is defined by the user and is used for grouping and filtering attachments.

The Person Profile and Organization Profile pages list the attachments created for the constituent where they can be subsequently downloaded and viewed on demand.

Gift Entry and Pledge Entry

Files can be attached to individual gift and pledges within a session. Attachments in posted gift and pledge sessions can be viewed and managed without the need to create an adjusted session.

Planned Giving

Files can be attached to individual bequests, trusts, gift annuities, and pooled income funds. The planned giving profile and prospect profile components list the attachments where they can be subsequently downloaded and viewed on demand.

Prospects

A common set of attachments can be managed for a prospect using the Prospect Attachments components. The attachments created can be viewed from the Prospect Profile page. Attachments can also be added to Strategies.

Designations

Attachments can be created and managed for each individual designation fund. Any attachments created can be viewed using the designation fund details components.

Action Entry

Attachments can be created and managed for each individual action assigned to people and organizations in Contributor Relations. The attachments created can be viewed using the Action Details secondary page.

Matching Gift

Attachments can be created and managed using the Matching Rules component. The attachments created can be viewed using the View Matching Rules component.

Initiatives

Attachments can be created and managed for each initiative (campaign, event, membership, volunteer, and other initiatives). The campaign attachments created can be viewed from the Campaign Summary component.

There are four categories of attachments that you can create and view:

  • Constituent attachments.

  • Transactional attachments.

  • Planned giving attachments.

  • Initiative attachments.
